Phoenix LiveView Hooks: window scroll issues
I have a LiveView form where an error message is displayed along with the form if the form was invalid. Pretty standard stuff. I am trying to implement a hook on this element to scroll to the top of the page when it is mounted. The hook is being called, it just won’t scroll the page. Is this a limitation? I’ve tried both this.el.scrollIntoView as well as window.scrollTo(0, 0). Neither moves the page at all.

If you open the browser’s dev console and manually run the command what happens?
Another idea: try calling it with a timeout and see if it makes a difference: setTimeout(() => { window.scrollTo(0,0) }, 1000)

That was a good thought! The timeout works. Strangely, it also works using setTimeout if the time is 0. I wasn’t going to be happy with a delay but as long as I can set the timeout to 0, it’s just a curiosity why it won’t work directly.
I appreciate the help.

I have a separate hooks script that imports all of the hooks and adds them.
The hook is definitely being called…if I change the content to alert("TESTING") the alert appears when I would expect it to. It just won’t scroll the window for whatever reason.
